TheLNB Élite Awards are the individual awards of thetop-tier level men's professionalclubbasketball league inFrance, theLNB Élite. Maxi-Basket holds the vote, and calls it the referendum. The distinction of the Coach of the Year is awarded by the Coaches' Basketball Union.
Before 1983, the title of the best player in the league was sometimes assigned by a panel ofjournalists, but the charts are incomplete.
Between 1983 and 2005, the monthly Maxi-Basket conducted a vote of the players andheadcoaches of the league. Since 2005, the coaches andcaptains of theLNB Élite clubs, and a panel of fiftyjournalists are asked to vote.[1] Since the2014–15 LNB Pro A season, the MVP award is a single unified award. Prior to that, it was divided into two separate awards, one for French players, and one for non-French players.
Between 1994 and 2005, the French newspaper,L'Équipe, also conducted a selection of the best French and foreign players of the league, through a vote ofjournalists. These awards are also considered official by theLigue Nationale de Basket (LNB).
